S4 springs... I guess they are lower.
Golf II steering wheels fit the Vanagon, but they are usually too small and
block out the high beam indicator for me.
Military tail lights to not have reverse lights...
As for the cargo rack... it creates more drag and it is a PITA to get things
from... if it can go inside or on the back, that's where I would put it.
Cool looking van... to bad it isn't a Syncro through.

have no idea what S4 springs are . . .
also they mention VW Motorsport Steering Wheel - have no idea what that is
either . .
and what are military tail lights? i do recall there being a place for
another bulb in the rear lens assembly . . .
Nice cargo cage . . . since I'm getting two thule spirits on top of my
vanagon, http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/product.asp?dept_id=11&sku=689B .
. . I'm wondering would it be better to mount a cargo cage in front of the
thule spirits or behind . . . if the thules are in front then they'd be
cutting the wind first . . . but if they are in the rear then maybe their
placement would be more typical ? ? ? . . . as far as loading stuff on the
cage it should make no difference if I have tube bumpers front and rear for
stepping on . . . and the cage would be good for having for loading things
that you might buy from ikea-like-stores when you're on a day trip and you
don't want to cover the engine bay area cause you might want to take look at
your engine or something and admire it . . . for example I just changed my
four wheels . . . now I have four tires I have to transport . . . would be
nice to have a cage rack on top to be able to transport these without
needing to put the wheels inside . . . though I'm not sure if I could
actually put that many tires on top . . .
